Then you must not have noticed how Clark was being stationed to the left side of the line a LOT in the later stages of the game.
They were running traps up the middle and blowing Williams out of the hole while using Jones aggression against him. It's smart football but it was hardly 'running away from Frank Clark...'
Again, you're talking about an impact that's fine for a guy that costs half of what Frank Clark cost. But if you're saying "Man, look at the impact the guy had on run defense" when we gave up 200 yards rushing at 6 yards a clip...well I think you're doing something wrong.
No, he hasn't meaningfully impacted this defense. He's played roughly at a starters level but that's it. Not even a
good starters level.
You cannot really think that this is what he was brought here to be. A glorified Mike Devito? I cannot for the life of me understand why some people are trying so hard to act like he's playing well right now. He just ****ing isn't. He's getting handled out there and it's happening virtually every play.
